I'm sure alot of you have already seen or heard about this on other forums, but for those of you haven't....here's the link.

I haven't read the whole thing. As of yesterday afternoon it was over 45 pages! It's pretty crazy how far this link has spread. Practically every internet forum has posted it up, reaching hundred of thousands of people!!

For those who just want a recap, here's what I have read:
Mark was the winning bidder of a red EVO (w/ extras) on Ebay for $26K. A couple hours after the auction ended he contacted the dealer selling it and they said they had sold it to a broker for a higher amount so he didn't win anything. The problem with this is, the dealer should have cancelled the auction or put a reserve amount if they feared they wouldn't get as much for it. I haven't heard the outcome yet. I'm sure it will take a while to settle. People are calling the dealer (which isn't cool) and also calling Mitsubishi HQ to file a complaint against the dealer (which would be the right thing to do).

I hope he ends up getting the EVO so the dealer learns a lesson.

DAMN that guy is so screwed! I wouldn't doubt it if he goes out of buisness. (the dealer) I would sue the mofo. Not to mention the car hasn't been sold on carfax and is still listed forsale on their website.
